Definitions

  • the present invention relates to forward error correction (FEC) e. g. in optical data transmission systems.
  • FEC forward error correction
  • the invention more specifically relates to separating error bursts, which may result from a Maximum-Likelihood Sequence Estimator (MLSE), into single errors.
  • MSE Maximum-Likelihood Sequence Estimator
  • FEC codes Its purpose is to combat inter-symbol interference (ISI).
  • ISI inter-symbol interference
  • the applicant recommends MLSE technology for non-coherent optical receivers which use photodiodes for the optical-two-electrical
  • a BCH (Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem) code is an error-correcting code that is much studied within coding theory.
  • a BCH code is a multilevel, cyclic, error-correcting, variable-length digital code used to correct multiple random error patterns.
  • BCH codes may also be used with multilevel phase-shift keying whenever the number of levels is a prime number or a power of a prime number.
  • Reed-Solomon (RS) error correction is an error-correcting code that works by oversampling a polynomial constructed from the data to be transmitted or stored. By sampling the polynomial more often than is necessary, the polynomial is over-determined. As long as "many" of the points are received correctly, the receiver can recover the original polynomial even in the presence of a "few" bad points.
  • Reed-Solomon codes are a sub-class of BCH codes.
  • RS codes are specifically useful in combating mixtures of random and burst errors.
  • the downside of RS codes is the extensive arithmetic, which may be an obstacle for real-time and high-speed applications.
  • CIRC cross-interleaved RS code
  • CIRC consists of an outer RS(24, 28) code, interleaving and an inner RS(28, 32) code.
  • RS(24, 28) means that a block of 24 bytes is encoded to a block of 28 bytes thereby adding 4 redundant bytes.
  • the inner RS(28, 32) code is designed to input an encoded 28-byte block of the outer RS(24, 28) code.
  • a 28 byte input block resulting from the outer code is distributed over 112 output blocks of 28 bytes each. The first byte of the input block lands in the first position of the first output block. The second byte of the input block lands in the second position of the fifth output block and so on until the 28th byte of the input block lands in the 28th position of the 109th output block.
  • symbol is mostly used as a synonym for bit. Skilled persons are aware that a symbol is a more general term which may correspond to 2 bits in quadrature phase shift keying or a byte in the context of RS codes.
  • ITU-T Recommendation G.709 defines a frame alignment signal (FAS) as 0xF6F6F6282828 (in hexadecimal code), which is a consecutive sequence of 48 bits.
  • a standard frame according to G.709 is 130560 bits long.
  • a barrel shifter (cf e. g. Wikipedia) is a digital circuit that can shift a data word by a specified number of bits. It can be implemented as a sequence of multiplexers (MUXs). In this implementation, the output of one MUX is connected to the input of the next MUX in a way that depends on the shift distance. The number of multiplexers required is n*log 2 (n), for an n bit word.
  • the barrel shifter has a variety of applications, including being a vital component in microprocessors. E. g. for a floating-point add or subtract operation, the mantissae of the numbers must be aligned, which requires shifting the smaller number to the right, increasing its exponent, until it matches the exponent of the larger number.
  • Clos network (cf e. g. Wikipedia) is a kind of multistage switching network, first formalized by Charles Clos in 1953, which represents a theoretical idealization of practical multi-stage telephone switching systems. Clos networks are required when the physical circuit switching needs exceed the capacity of the largest feasible single crossbar switch. The key advantage of Clos networks is that the number of crosspoints which make up each crossbar switch required can be much fewer than were the entire switching system implemented with one large crossbar switch.
  • Clos networks have three stages: the ingress stage, middle stage, and the egress stage. Each stage is made up of a number of crossbar switches, often just called crossbars. Each call entering an ingress crossbar switch can be routed through any of the available middle stage crossbar switches, to the relevant egress crossbar switch.
  • Clos networks are defined by three integers n, m, and r.
  • n represents the number of sources which feed into each of r ingress stage crossbar switches.
  • Each ingress stage crossbar switch has m outlets, and there are m centre stage crossbar switches. There is exactly one connection between each ingress stage switch and each middle stage switch.
  • Each middle stage switch is connected exactly once to each egress stage switch.
  • the Clos network is rearrangeably nonblocking, meaning that an unused input on an ingress switch can always be connected to an unused output on an egress switch, but for this to take place, existing calls may have to be rearranged by assigning them to different centre stage switches in the Clos network.
  • Clos networks may also be generalized to any odd number of stages. By replacing each center stage crossbar switch with a 3-stage Clos network, Clos networks of five stages may be constructed. By applying the same process repeatedly, 7, 9, 11,... stages are possible.
  • Such networks have 2log 2 N - 1 stages, each containing N/2 2x2 crossbar switches, and use a total of Nlog 2 N - N/2 2x2 crossbar switches.
  • Benes network has following implementation parameters:
  • a PRBS is random in a sense that the value of an a j element is independent of the values of any of the other elements, similar to real random sequences.
  • n-sequence is a special pseudo-random binary sequence of n bits generated as the output of a linear shift register.
  • n-sequences are used as PRBSs due to the efficient generation by linear shift registers.
  • the list of the bits positions that influence the input is called the tap sequence, which may be [16,14,13,11]. All bits of the tap sequence are modulo-two added, which may be implemented by 3 XOR gates, each XOR gate xoring two inputs.
  • a linear shift register may produce an n-sequence through all possible 2 n - 1 states except the state where all bits are zero, unless it contains all zeros, in which case it will never change.
  • the sequence of numbers generated by a linear shift register can be considered a binary numeral system just as valid as Gray code or the natural binary code.
  • the tap sequence of an linear shift register can be represented as a polynomial modulo 2. This means that the coefficients of the polynomial must be 1's or 0's. This is called the feedback polynomial or characteristic polynomial. For example, if the taps are at the 16 th , 14 th , 13 th and 11 th bits (as above), the resulting polynomial is 1 + x 11 + x 13 + x 14 + x 16 ,
  • the 'one' in the polynomial does not correspond to a tap.
  • the powers of the terms represent the tapped bits, counting from the left, starting with 1.
  • ITU-T O-150 defines several PRBS for bit error rate (BER) and jitter measurements.
  • US 6,971,057 discloses a memory optimized system and method for data interleaving. Bytes of a code word are placed into a memory array by interleaving Bytes of different subsequent code words with eachother.
  • EP-1850486-A1 discloses the possibility of an interleaver, in which the interleave pattern changes each time the data length changes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an inventive optical data transmission system 1.
  • the transmitter comprises a forward error correction (FEC) circuit 12, a transmitter reorder block 15 and an optical transmitter 19.
  • the FEC circuit 12 inputs a payload symbol stream 11 to be transmitted and outputs a framed symbol stream 13 into which redundant symbols have been inserted. Moreover, the FEC circuit 12 inserts framing bits which are used for synchronization purposes on the receiver side.
  • the transmitter reorder block 15 outputs a reordered symbol stream 16 to the optical transmitter 19.
  • the optical transmitter in 19 transforms its electrical input to an optical signal which is transmitted by an optical fiber 5 to the receiver.
  • the receiver comprises an optical receiver 29, an equalizer 27, a error decorrelator 25 and a forward error correction circuit 22.
  • the receiver basically performs the same operations as the transmitter in reversed order to regenerating the payload symbol stream 21.
  • the reference numbers of corresponding circuit blocks differ by 10.
  • the optical receiver 29 converts its optical input into a analog or a quasi-analog output 28.
  • the equalizer 27 combats inter-symbol interference (ISI) as mentioned above.
  • the output of the equalizer 27 is the designated received reordered symbol stream 26, which deviates from the reordered symbol stream 16 by a typical BER of 10 -3 to 10 -6 .
  • the downside of the MLSE technology is that it tends to generate burst errors.
  • the error decorrelator 25 separates burst errors such that they appear as isolated single errors in the framed symbol stream 23.
  • another FEC circuit 22 reduces the BER to desired values of 10 -9 to 10 -16 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a transmitter reorder block 15, which comprises an interleaver 205, a scrambler 203, a permutation controller 207 and a digital signal processor 208.
  • the framed symbol stream 13 and the reordered symbol stream 16 are conveyed by a data connection which is K bits wide, like most of the data connections used in the embodiments of this invention.
  • the data connection 204 which forwards the output of the interleaver 205 to the scrambler 203 is K bits wide. Therefore, the clock frequency f K can be by a factor K lower than the line rate f, which is typically in the range of 10 or 40 GHz. A lower clock frequency f K simplifies circuit design and reduces power consumption.
  • K may be 64.
  • the interleaver 205 is opposite to deinterleaver 305, which is shown in more detail in figure 9 .
  • the interleaver 205 comprises K shift registers indexed from 0 to K-1 for bit 0 to bit K-1, respectively.
  • the shift register for bit 0 has a size of 0, which means that it does not create a delay and may be considered non-existing.
  • the n th shift register for bit n has a size of n, which means that it creates a delay of nT, T being the inverse of the clock rate f K and 0 ⁇ n ⁇ K-1.
  • the delay of each delay cold be an integer multiple of one clock cycle, i. e. m*T, m ⁇ 1.
  • the operation of the scrambler 203 may be illustrated by figure 5 .
  • the scrambler 203 exchanges the K bits present on the data connection 204 using a link pattern 501 or, in other words, generates a permutation of such K bits for outputting the reordered symbol stream 16.
  • the permutation should be irregular in order to disturb the regularity of the interleaver 205 for the effective separation of burst errors in the receiver. PRBSs may be used to achieve this irregularity as will be described below.
  • the scrambler 203 may be implemented in the same fashion as the descrambler 303 by a Benes network 601 or half Benes network 602. Which permutation or link pattern the Benes or half Benes networks 601 or 602 actually performs can be controlled by permutation controller 207.
  • the permutation controller 207 changes the permutation or link pattern 501 every 10 clock cycles corresponding to 10T, which makes the reordering both on the transmitter and receiver side even less regular.
  • the permutation sequence is kept constant for K clock cycles equivalent to KT at the beginning of a frame after the FAS.
  • the link patterns used during the 48 first clock cycles equivalent to 48T may scramble non-framing bits even during the first 48 or first K clock cycles. If framing bits were scrambled, the framer 306 has no chance to find them.
  • bit 0 does not change its position
  • bit 1 in the 1 st clock cycle only bit 1 must keep its position, and so on, until in the 47 th clock cycle the last framing bit, bit 47, must keep its position. If a link pattern is changed every 10 clock cycles as indicated above, the first permutation for the first 10 clock cycles transmits bits 0 to 9 in a one-to-one fashion, the second permutation for the 11 to the 20 clock cycle transmits bits 10 to 19 in a one-to-one fashion and so on.
  • the link patterns are changed after two clock cycles during the first 64 clock cycles.
  • This embodiment requires less one-to-one connections, namely only 2, in each of the first 32 link patterns, which renders such link patterns less regular, thereby increasing the performance of the error decorrelator 25.
  • the FEC circuit 12 provides the frame position information 14 to the permutation controller 207.
  • a separate framer before the FEC may be provided, which is not important to this invention.
  • Permutation controllers 207 and 307 may be implemented in the same fashion as shown in figure 7 .
  • permutation controllers 207 and 307 are synchronized and operate in a complimentary fashion, which means that the network within descrambler 303 reverses the operation of scrambler 203. This is also illustrated in figure 5 by the four arrows which represent the data connection 204, the reordered symbol stream 16, and the data connections 302 and 304. How this synchronization is established will be explained in more detail in connection with framer 306 and figure 10 .
  • the permutation controller 207 may be connected by an interface 209 to a digital signal processor (DSP) 208.
  • the interface 209 may be unidirectional just for writing link patterns from the DSP 208 into the permutation controller 207 or bi-directional also for reading link patterns from the permutation controller 207.
  • the DSP 208 just illustrates that the link patterns may be updated by a control interface of the transmitter and/or during maintenance. In this way different link patterns that are optimized for certain FEC codes may be loaded through the DSP interface. DSP read and write access shall be possible without disturbing the reading of switch control values from the permutation controller 207 for the Benes network.
  • Figure 3 shows a block diagram of a error decorrelator 25, which comprises a shift block 301, a descrambler 303, a deinterleaver 305, a framer 306, a permutation controller 307 and a DSP 308.
  • the shift block 301 receives the received reordered symbol stream 26 on a data connection 300 and puts the FAS sequence on the up most position in the outgoing data connection 302, as will be described in more detail in connection with figure 4 .
  • the operation of the descrambler 303 has been described in connection with figure 5 and its implementation will be described in connection with figure 6 .
  • a possible implementation of the deinterleaver 305 will be discussed in connection with figure 9 .
  • K bit wide data connections 302 and 304 connect the shift block 301 with the descrambler 303 and the descrambler 303 with the deinterleaver 305, respectively.
  • Another K bit wide data connection 314 forwards the framed symbol stream 23 output by the deinterleaver 305 to both, the framer 306 and the FEC circuit 22.
  • the framer 306 will be discussed in connection with figures 10 to 12 .
  • the data connections in figures 2 and 3 may be implemented as buses, which are quite popular in digital circuits.
  • the permutation controller 307 may be connected by a unidirectional or bi-directional interface 309 to a DSP 308.
  • the DSP 308 just illustrates that the link patterns may be updated by a control interface of the receiver and/or during maintenance. Again, DSP read and write access shall be possible without disturbing the reading of switch control values from the permutation controller 307 for the Benes network.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the operation and implementation of the shift block 301, which receives its control signal POS_SHIFT from the framer 306 on shift interface 310 in order to put the FAS sequence on the up most position in the data connection 302.
  • a 2K-1 bit wide select connection 401 is formed which constitutes the input of barrel shifter 403.
  • Bits 1 to K-1 of the select connection 401 are directly connected to bits 1 to K-1 of the data connection 300. All bits of the data connection 300 including bit 0 are delayed by a delay 402 by a clock cycle T. The outputs of the delay of 402 are provided at bits K to 2K-1 of the select connection 401. This means that the symbols present during the previous clock cycle at connection 300 are provided at bits K to 2K-1 of the select connection 401.
  • the barrel shifter 403 selects K bits from the select connection 401 and outputs the selected bits at the data connection 302.
  • the shift interface 310 is 6 bit wide.
  • Table 1 POS_SHIFT bits selected by barrel shifter data connection 302 0 127 to 64 63 to 0 1 126 to 63 63 to 0 ... ... ... 46 81 to 18 63 to 0 47 80 to 17 63 to 0 48 79 to 16 63 to 0 ... ... ... 62 65 to 2 63 to 0 63 64 to 1 63 to 0
  • switch (32,x) shall process data bits 63 and 62 of the 64 bit data vector
  • switch (31 ,x) shall process data bits 61 and 60
  • switch (1,x) shall process data bits 1 and 0.
  • Switch (R,C) is the switch in row R and column C in the (half) Benes network 602 or 601.
  • FIG. 7 shows the permutation controller 307 for the descrambler 303, provided that the descrambler 303 comprises a half Benes network 602 as shown in figure 6 .
  • the permutation controller 307 comprises a RAM (Random Access Memory) address controller 701, six RAMs 702 to 707 and a multiplexer (MUX) 708.
  • the connections 211 and 311 comprise 192 lines, one line for each switch in the half Benes network 602.
  • the total RAM has been distributed into six single RAMs 702 to 707, each of which can save 256 words of a length of 32 bits.
  • the RAM addresses range from 0 to 255.
  • Each of the RAMs 702 to 707 can output one word equivalent to 32 bits at a time which represents one column of the matrix switches.
  • the least significant bit (LSB) (bit 0) controls switch (1,x)
  • most significant bit (MSB) (bit 31) controls switch (32,x), 1 ⁇ _x ⁇ 6.
  • the multiplexer 708 can switch all 192 lines of connection 311 to 0, which makes the half Benes network 602 transparent.
  • the multiplexer 708 is controlled by line 709 by the RAM address controller 701.
  • the half Benes network 602 is switched transparent e. g. during OOF state to allow FAS search in the subsequent blocks.
  • the RAM address controller 701 is connected to the OOF line 312.
  • the RAM address controller 701 further receives the frame position information on interface of 313 and outputs a respective RAM address on address interface 710, which is at least 8 bit wide to select a specific word out of 256 words in each RAM. Furthermore, the RAM address controller 701 and to the RAMs 702 to 707 are connected to the DSP 308 by interface 309. This enables a change of the link patterns stored in the RAMs 702 to 707 e. g. during maintenance and disabling of the descrambler for power saving purposes. The advantage of using DSP programmable RAMs is that the link patterns can be optimized for different FEC codes. Interface 309 enables reading from and writing to the RAMs 702 to 707, although in another embodiment interface 309 may only allow writing.
  • a PRBS of length 2 16 -1 generated with the polynomial 1 + x + x 3 + x 12 + x 16 has been used.
  • This sequence has been generated by a computer and loaded bit wise into the RAMs 702 to 707.
  • the first 32 bits of the PRBS are written into RAM 702, address 0, starting with the MSB, the second 32 bits of the PRBS are written into RAM 703, address 0, starting with the MSB and so on until the 161 st to the 192 nd bit, which are the sixth 32 bits, are written to RAM 707, address 0, starting with the MSB again.
  • the following 192 bits of the PRBS are written to the address 1 of the RAMs 702 to 707, and so on until address 255 of the RAMs 702 to 707 is set.
  • the half Benes network could be controlled by different permutation controllers without RAM. Rather, such different permutation controllers could be based on feed-back shift registers for generating the PRBS.
  • the downside of this approach is the high frequency required. In the discussed embodiment 192 bits have to be generated, which are 3 bits per time slot on the optical line, which requires a frequency tree times the line rate. In order to reduce such frequencies, several linear shift registers may be operated in parallel as will be discussed in connection with the second embodiment of a permutation controller shown in figure 8 .
  • Another viable approach could be the PRBS calculation by 32 bit or 64 bit microprocessors.
  • the permutation controller 207 on the transmitter side and the permutation controller 307 on the receiver side may have different construction, but must produce the same PRBS for synchronization.
  • the frame length is FL clock cycles.
  • the frame position always starts with 0 when the first occurring bit of a FAS is in the processed K-bit vector.
  • the function floor(y) returns the largest integer which is smaller than or equal to y.
  • the permutation is changed every 10 clock cycles, 204 words need to be read out of and need to be stored in every RAM. In other embodiments the permutation may be changed more quickly or slowly. If, e. g. the permutation is changed every 8 clock cycles, 255 words need to be comprised in every RAM, in order to avoid a wrap around in a standard frame. The permutation may be changed more slowly, e. g. after 11, 12 ore even 20 clock cycles, in order to avoid wrap around in larger frames than standard frames.
  • Fig. 8 shows a second embodiment of a permutation controller.
  • This permutation controller does not store all link patterns in a RAM, rather generates the link patterns by 16 parallel PRBS circuits 721, 722, ... and 736.
  • the clock frequency of the PRBS circuits 721, 722, ... and 736 is equivalent to the clock frequency of the transmitter reorder block 15 and the error decorrelator 25.
  • the clock line 741 is explicitly shown in figure 8 .
  • each PRBS circuit has basically the same structure, the same inputs and similar outputs. Therefore only PRBS circuit 721 is shown in more detail.
  • the core element of each PRBS circuit is a linear shift register 752 which is 16 bits long. The bits are consecutively numbered from bit 1 at the input to bit 16 at the output. At least two bits are tapped, which are bits 13 and 16 in the embodiment shown in figure 8 . The tapped bits are modulo-two added by one or more XOR gates 753. The result is fed back to the input of the linear shift register 752.
  • ROMs 751 are provided which store the initial values, which are loaded in parallel into all linear shift registers 752 upon reset. Therefore, ROMs 751 store different values.
  • the maximum length of a PRBS generated by a 16 bit linear shift register is 2 16 -1. Consequently it is desirable to have neighboring PRBS circuits generate parts of the same PRBS sequence which starting positions are equidistant, in this embodiment 2 12 bits apart. By this condition, the values stored in the ROMs 751 may be obtained.
  • the clock is divided by frequency divider 743 by a factor 12.
  • the frequency divider 743 is reset by interface 313 at the beginning of a new frame. Consequently, the frequency divider 743 outputs a storing signal on line 742 at clock cycles 0, 12, 24 ... after the beginning of a frame, which starts at clock cycle 0.
  • bits 5 to 16 of each linear shift register are loaded in parallel into the corresponding buffer 754. While the linear shift register 752 generates the next 12 bits during the following 12 clock cycles, the buffer 754 outputs the previous 12 bits.
  • the modify circuit 740 modifies the link patterns output to the multiplexer 708 during the first 48 clock cycles of a frame to ensure that in the 0 th clock cycle bit 0 does not change its position, in the 1 st clock cycle only bit 1 must keep its position, and so on, until in the 47 th clock cycle the last framing bit, bit 47, must keep its position.
  • the first link pattern for the first 12 clock cycles may be modified not to change the positions of bits 1 to 12.
  • the modification may change from clock cycle to clock cycle or at each second clock cycle in order to generate 12 or 6, respectively, link patterns from the first link pattern.
  • a quicker link pattern change may be desirable or a slower link pattern change may be acceptable. Therefore, e. g. only 12 PRBS circuits may be provided for a link pattern change after 16 clock cycles or 24 PRBS circuits may be provided for a link pattern change after 8 clock cycles.
  • the length of the buffers 754 must be extended to 16 bits in the first case and may be reduced to 8 bits in the second case.
  • Additional circuitry may be provided to use a programmable tapping of the linear shift registers 752 for generating different PRBSs.
  • the ROMs 751 may be replaced by RAMs, which may be written by DSP 308.
  • the multiplexer 708 operates in the same fashion as in figure 7 .
  • the permutation controller 207 for the scrambler 203 differs from the permutation controller 307 only in that the permutation controller 207 does not receive an OOF signal, provided that the scrambler 203 also comprises a half Benes network 602.
  • Figure 9 shows the deinterleaver 305, which may be illustrated by a triangle of delays.
  • the shift register for bit b comprises K-1-b delays. Each delay delays by one clock cycle T. In other embodiments the delay of each delay could be an integer multiple of one clock cycle, i. e. m*T, m ⁇ 1.
  • the shift register for bit b comprises b delays in the interleaver 205. Therefore, the interleaver 205 and the deinterleaver 305 compensate each other by providing a total delay of T(K-1) for each of the K bits. If, in other embodiments, the delay of each delay is an integer multiple of one clock cycle, the total delay is m*T(K-1), m ⁇ 1.
  • interleaver 205 and the deinterleaver 305 can be disabled, resulting in 0 delay for each bit.
  • FIG 10 shows the framer 306, which comprises a FAS search block 901, a framer supervision block 902, an alarm generation block 903, an error counter 904, a FAS confirm block 905 and a delay 906.
  • the framer supervision block 902 comprises an OOF state machine 912 and a frame counter 911.
  • the error counter 904 further comprises an LOF state machine 921 and counters 922.
  • the deinterleaver 305 and descrambler 303 implement the inverse function of the interleaver 205 and scrambler 203, respectively, the data stream after the deinterleaver can still be disordered because both, the descrambler 303 and the deinterleaver 305 need to be synchronized to the FAS sequence. Therefore the framer 306 must detect the FAS in the data stream. This is explained in more detail in connection with the framing state machines in figures 11 and 12 .
  • the FAS search block 901 shall:
  • the signal FAS_FOUND shall indicate to the frame supervision block 902 immediately when the FAS_A or FAS_B is detected. Additionally a FRCNT_SET value is determined and provided to the frame supervision block to set the frame counter 911 to the appropriate value to ensure that next occurrence of FAS in the data stream can be supervised.
  • Table 2 illustrates an implementation example how the feedback signal POS_SHIFT on the shift interface 310 is generated in dependence from the FAS positions.
  • FAS_A when FAS is misaligned (POS_SHIFT not equal to 0) is always detected later to its nominal position X.
  • X is the time where FAS is expected on the data bus for FAS confirmation.
  • FAS_B detected with POS_SHIFT smaller than 17 is always detected later to its nominal position X.
  • FAS_B detected with POS_SHIFT is bigger than 40 is always detected earlier to its nominal position X.
  • POS_SHIFT 0 shall be the default value after reset.
  • POS_SHIFT shall be set to 0 and hold until a new FAS_A or FAS_B is found and therefore a new POS_SHIFT value was determined.
  • the FAS confirm block 905 compares the received data with the correct FAS sequence on positions K-1 to K-48 of the incoming data connection 314.
  • the FAS confirm block 905 receives the signal FASPOS signal 935 from the framer supervision block 902 which defines the expected position of the next FAS sequence. It is not sufficient to find the FAS sequence somewhere in the middle of a frame, rather the FAS sequence is only considered valid at the beginning of the following frame.
  • the FASPOS signal 935 may be considered an activation signal for the FAS confirm block 905 and may be used for power saving in the FAS confirm block 905, while a FAS sequence is not expected.
  • Output 931 to the error counter block are two values FALSE_ONES and FALSE_ZEROS which are the number of false 1 (0 received instead of expected 1) in the FAS, respective number of false 0 (1 received instead of expected 0) together with a pulse FASCNT_UPDATED to indicate that the counters have been updated after each frame.
  • Output 932 to the framer supervision block is FAS_OK and to indicate a good FAS and FAS_NOK if FAS is bad.
  • FAS_OK In state 1001 two error-free parts FAS_A and FAS_B of a FAS are required for moving to state 1002.
  • the received FAS pattern In state 1002 the received FAS pattern may contain a number of acceptable errors 933 FASERR_OK_ALLOW for being considered good (OK).
  • FASERR_OK_ALLOW is provided by the register map as control signal.
  • the framer supervision block 902 contains the OOF state machine 912 to declare or clear OOF and a frame counter 911 to generate frame synchronous control signals which constitute the frame position information on interface 313.
  • the length of the frame FL (distance between two FAS) is defined by a provisioned signal FRM_LENGTH from the register map.
  • FRM_LENGTH is the frame length in bits divided by K.
  • a typical value for FRM_LENGTH is 2040 (dec).
  • FRM_LENGTH may range from 128 to 65535.
  • the frame counter 911 shall be reset to a defined value FRCNT_SET when the FAS_FOUND signal is received. This FRCNT_SET value is dependent from the position the FAS was found. In absence of reset and FRCNT_SET signals the frame counter 911 shall run in continuous mode to provide equidistant frame pulses. Via an external resynchronization signal 934 DINT_RESYNCH the frame search can be started manually.
  • the error counter block 904 contains the LOF state machine 921 to declare or clear LOF and counters 922 to accumulate errors within the FAS for a defined interval.
  • the error counter block 904 receives its information from the FAS confirm block 905 and accumulates the FALSE_ONES and FALSE_ZEROS during an interval of time FASERR_TIME (max 1second) provided by the register map and considered as static. At the start of each interval the counters start with value zero.
  • the error counter block 904 provides the accumulator values FALSE_ONES_ACCU and FALSE_ZEROS_ACCU that are the accumulation results of the last interval to the external register map together with a pulse ACCU_UPDATED whenever a new accumulation value is available which is true at the end of an accumulation interval.
  • ACCU_UPDATED is implemented as event bit in the register map and can generate an interrupt.
  • the counters shall have a size of 20 bits and saturate at their maximum value when excessive errors are received.
  • Figure 11 illustrates the operation of the OOF state machine 912.
  • OOF is declared which sets the OOF state machine to state 1001.
  • the OOF state machine 912 is also set to state 1001, if in state 1003 an incorrect FAS was detected for FAS_LOOSE consecutive frames.
  • the OOF state machine 912 changes from state 1002 to state 1001, if an single incorrect FAS has been detected.
  • the OOF state machine goes from state 1001 to state 1002, if a FAS is detected for the first time.
  • Figure 12 shows the LOF state machine 921.
  • LOF shall be declared and the LOF state machine switch to state 1101 when an OOF condition persists for a minimum of LOFDET_TIME.
  • the integrating timer shall not be reset until OOF is inactive for continuously LOFDET_TIME.
  • LOF shall be cleared and the LOF state machine 921 be switched to state 1102, when OOF is inactive for continuously LOFCLEAR_TIME.
  • the LOFDET_TIME and LOFCLEAR_TIME are provided by register map and considered as static.
  • LOFDET_TIME and LOFCLEAR_TIME are specified as number of frames. LOF state is reported to register map.
  • the error decorrelator 25 receives a clock and a full synchronous reset signal. This reset shall be used in the combinatorial logic to achieve the required state. It is essential to reset the internal state machines 912 and 921 and the signals to the register map. However it might be a good idea to also reset the complete storage elements.
